Security Devices

Security devices is a section of the Entryfy system, where you can manage sites, sections, door controllers, and doors belonging to your organization and also check & manage the current status of door controllers.

There are a few concepts we need to clarify before we describe how to manage them.

• Site - A site in Entryfy is a geographical location where you want to manage access control. You can define a time zone and GPS coordinates for your site when creating or editing your site.
• Section - A section is a logical segmentation of a site into different parts; for example, it could be a floor.
• Door Controller - This is a software representation of an Axis Network Door Controller
• Door - This is a software representation of a door that the above hardware controls.
